1. Тетя Полли ожидала, что Том сдержит обещание и не будет боль­


ше пропускать занятия. Но на следующий день она узнала, что Том
опять прогулял. «Том, ты хочешь, чтобы я тебя наказала?» — сердито
сказала тетя Полли.
2. Тетя Полли решила наказать Тома и послала его белить забор. Том
сначала работал очень медленно, но когда он заметил, что к нему при­
ближается Бен, он притворился, что работа доставляет ему удовольст­
вие. «Что ты делаешь, Том?» — спросил Бен. «Разве ты не видишь?
Я белю забор. Я этим занимаюсь уже полчаса, но ни чуточки не устал.
Это очень интересная работа». — «Правда? Дай мне кисть на минутку.
Я никогда в жизни не белил забор. Я тебе дам откусить своего яблока,
если ты мне позволишь». — «Извини, Бен». Бен сказал, что отдаст Тому
все яблоко, если тот даст ему кисть. Том неохотно согласился. И пока
Бен белил забор, Том сидел в тени и ел яблоко.
3. В то воскресное утро Нэнси осталась дома одна. Она попыталась
читать, но не смогла. Она думала о своей жизни с Годфри. Она была

счастлива с ним, но в тот день почему-то подумала, счастлив ли он с


ней. Шум на улице привлек ее внимание. Она посмотрела в окно и уви­
дела толпу возле дома. Все кричали и возбужденно жестикулировали.
Она все еще стояла у окна, когда услышала, как кто-то открыл дверь.
Это был Годфри. Она повернулась, чтобы поздороваться с ним, но не
смогла вымолвить ни слова, когда увидела его бледное лицо и дрожа­
щие руки. Она почувствовала, что сердце у нее замерло (to miss a beat).
Сильно встревоженная, она спросила, что случилось. Годфри ответил,
что час назад нашли Данстена и деньги Сайласа Марнера.
4. Том и Бекки сели вместе. Том дал Бекки карандаш, и с его помо­
щью она нарисовала дом. Потом они начали разговаривать. «Ты когда-
нибудь была в цирке?» — «Да, и папа поведет меня еще раз, если буду
хорошо себя вести». — «Я был в цирке много раз и еще пойду. Я буду
цирковым клоуном, когда вырасту».
5. Ни Том, ни Бекки не знали, куда идут. Они никогда не были в этой
пещере. Они очень проголодались, так как с утра ничего не ели. Они
искали выход из пещеры, но так и смогли найти его. Было очень тихо и
темно, потому что свечи у них погасли. Они оба очень устали, но Бекки
сказала, что сможет пройти еще немного. Они еще долго шли, но так и
смогли найти выход. Наконец они остановились отдохнуть. Том поша­
рил (to feel) у себя в карманах и очень обрадовался, когда нашел там
кусок пирога. М альчик разделил его пополам и дал половинку Бекки.
Он спросил, как она себя чувствует. Девочка ответила, что чувствует
себя лучше, но выглядела бледной и усталой. Глаза у нее закрылись, и
она уснула. Том сидел рядом и думал, как скоро их хватятся (to miss).
Ни тетя Полли, ни родители Бекки не ожидали, что они вернутся ско­
ро. Внезапно он увидел свет. Он подумал, что их ищут. Но когда Том
сделал несколько шагов в направлении света, он очень испугался, пото­
му что увидел Индейца Джо, который сидел у огня.
6. Мальчиков везде искали. Они исчезли, и все в деревне думали, что
они погибли. Миссис Харпер пришла к тете Полли, и они поплакали,
вспоминая бедных мальчиков. Том лежал под кроватью и тоже плакал,
потому что ему было жаль себя. Когда миссис Харпер ушла и в доме
погас свет, Том вылез из-под кровати и подошел к своей спящей тете.
Он услышал, что она во сне повторяет его имя.

А ) Молодой писатель ходил взад и вперед по комнате. Он пытался


найти тему для рассказа. Рассказ был давно обещан редактору. Срок
подходил, а ничего еще не было сделано. Молодой писатель посмотрел
Сборник упражнений по грамматике современного английского языка

на книжные полки. «Столько уже написано, — подумал он, — Все хо­


рошие темы уже много раз использованы. Вот хотя бы эти рассказы.
Без сомнения, их в свое время читали, они нравились, о них говорили.
Но сейчас они совершенно забыты. А что если...»
К концу дня один из забытых рассказов был перепечатан и отослан
в редакцию. На следующий день пришло письмо из редакции жур­
нала.
«Это безобразие, — писал редактор. — Такие поступки нельзя ни по­
нять, ни простить. Ведь этот рассказ был опубликован в нашем журна­
ле только месяц тому назад».
Б) Когда я пришла на первое занятие, я увидела группу детей, кото­
рые с интересом наблюдали за тем, что происходило на площадке
(training-ground). Дети всегда приходят смотреть, как учат собак, и я не
обратила на них особого внимания. На следующий день я нашла на
площадке две группы: группу взрослых с собаками, которых мне надо
было обучать, и группу детей, которые смотрели первое занятие. Они
тоже привели с собой собак. Оказывается, ребята подумали, что для
того, чтобы заниматься на площадке, достаточно иметь собаку. Мне
было жаль ребят, но мне пришлось сказать им, что здесь учат только
служебных (special) собак и что за это надо платить.
Дети ушли. Я стала объяснять, как необходимо отрабатывать зада­
ния (tasks) дома, но вдруг заметила, что меня не слушают. Они смотре­
ли на что-то позади меня. Я обернулась. Девять детей стояли, а девять
собак сидели, и каждая держала палку в зубах.

1. Было ясное весеннее утро. Пуаро (Poirot) и Хейстингс (Hastings)


сидели в комнате Пуаро. Пуаро расчесывал усы, Хейстингс сидел в
кресле. Газета, которую читал Хейстингс, упала на пол, и он мирно спал,
когда Пуаро позвал его.
2. Когда Пуаро поинтересовался, о чем Хейстингс думает, тот отве­
тил, что обдумывает происшествие на балу в Виктория Холле. Все о нем
говорили, и газеты каждый день печатали новости об убийстве лорда
Кроншо.
3. Хейстингс напомнил Пуаро, что компания лорда Кроншо (Сгоп-
shaw) на балу состояла из 6 человек. На них были костюмы, представ­
лявшие старую итальянскую комедию. Костюмы были скопированы с
набора фарфоровых фигурок в коллекции Лорда Белтейна (Beltane).
Лорд Кроншо был одет в костюм Арлекина.
Видовременная система. Повторение

4. Компания должна была ужинать в специальной комнате. Ко вре­


мени ужина Лорд Кроншо и его невеста Коко (Сосо) не разговаривали.
У Коко были красные глаза, она явно плакала.
5. Лорд Кроншо был найден мертвым в комнате для ужина после
бала. Единственным ключом к разгадке преступления, имевшимся у по­
лиции, был зеленый помпон, найденный в руке мертвеца. Должно быть,
Кроншо оторвал его от костюма убийцы.
6. Все свидетели сказали, что видели Кроншо за несколько минут до
того, как его тело было найдено. Однако Пуаро заподозрил, что Крон­
шо, видимо, был убит раньше. Пуаро пришел к выводу, что комната
для ужина (supper-room) должна иметь нишу, где, скорее всего, тело
было спрятано до конца бала.
7. В компании Кроншо были актер Девидсон и его жена, одетые как
Пьеро (Pierrot) и Пьеретта. Пуаро попросил миссис Девидсон показать
ему костюм, в котором она была на балу. Женщина немного поколеба­
лась сначала, но затем повернулась и вышла из комнаты.
8. Пуаро сразу заметил, что на костюме миссис Девидсон не хватает
одного помпона. Женщина объяснила, что он на балу оторвался, и она
отдала его Кроншо на хранение. Но помпон не был оторван, он был
очень аккуратно отрезан ножницами.
9. В день бала Кроншо узнал, что Коко принимает наркотики. Он
был полон решимости узнать, от кого они поступают. Девидсон, кото­
рый снабжал Коко наркотиками, боялся разоблачения и решил заста­
вить Кроншо замолчать любой ценой.
10. Пуаро пообещал Хейстингсу, что все ему расскажет, когда придет
время. Но это время еще не пришло. Он сказал, что они все должны
посмотреть спектакль, в котором персонажи старой итальянской коме­
дии должны были позировать перед белым экраном.
11. Все, кто смотрел представление, думали, что видели шесть фигур.
На самом деле их было пять. Один из героев появился на сцене дваж­
ды. Глаза зрителей их обманули.
12. Пуаро сразу заподозрил, что убийца — человек, одетый в костюм
Пьеро. Но Пьеро покинул бал за два часа до убийства. Значит, он дол­
жен был либо вернуться на бал позже, либо убить Кроншо до того, как
ушел.
13. Миссис Девидсон была единственным человеком, который видел
Кроншо после ужина. Но ее заявление могло быть ложью. В этом слу­
чае Арлекин, которого все видели в конце бала, не мог быть Кроншо.
14. Пуаро понял, что Девидсон должен был убить Кроншо сразу после
ужина. Затем он отвез Коко домой и быстро вернулся на бал, но уже
одетый как Арлекин, а не Пьеро.

1. Гарри лежал на спине тяжело дыша, словно после бега. Он только


что проснулся. Старый шрам у него на лбу горел, как если бы к коже
прикоснулись раскаленной добела проволокой (white hot wire).
2. Гарри попытался вспомнить, что ему снилось перед тем, как он
проснулся. Он вспомнил двух мужчин, которые разговаривали о ком-
то, кого они убили. Они договаривались (plot) убить кого-то еще ...
его.
3. Гарри открыл глаза и оглядел комнату, словно ожидая увидеть
что-то особенное. На полу рядом с его кроватью лежала открытая кни­
га; он читал ее накануне перед тем, как уснуть. Картинки в этой книге
все двигались.
4. Гарри внимательно вслушался в окружающую его тишину. Он
почти ожидал услышать скрип (creak) лестницы или шелест (swish)
мантии (cloak). Поэтому он вздрогнул, услышав, как его двоюродный
брат Дадли мощно всхрапнул в соседней комнате.
5. Гарри мысленно встряхнул себя. Он ведет себя глупо, в доме ни­
кого нет, кроме его дяди, тети и двоюродного брата.
6. Гарри лежал и думал о шраме. Ему был год, когда Волдерморт,
черный маг, который в течение 10 предыдущих лет устойчиво набирал
силу, пришел к нему в дом и убил его родителей. Затем он направил
свой волшебный жезл (wand) на Гарри и сотворил проклятие, (perform
a curse) которое уничтожило многих магов. Но проклятие не сработало.
Вместо того чтобы убить маленького мальчика, проклятие вернулось
(rebound on) к Волдерморту. Гарри выжил с небольшим шрамом на лбу,
а Волдерморт был почти уничтожен.
7. Гарри, Рон и Гермиони говорили о гоблинах. Их видели на терри­
тории школы. Они искали Крауча (Crouch). Рон предположил (wonde­
red), что им нужна защита. Гермиони саркастически улыбнулась: «Ты
что, не слушал, что профессор Биннс объяснял нам про гоблинов? Им
не нужна защита. Они вполне способны сами разобраться (deal with) с
волшебниками».
8. Дамблдор (Dumbledore) отправил Гарри в его комнату и попросил
его не отсылать сову до утра. Гарри уставился на него с удивлением.
Откуда Дамблдор знал, что он думал послать сову Сириусу, чтобы рас­
сказать, что случилось.
9. Гарри уронил золотое яйцо и карту. Яйцо раскрылось от удара и
начало громко завывать (wail). Тут же Гарри услышал голос Филча
(Filch), коменданта, который обходил здание в поисках Пивза (Peeves),
местного полтергейста. Увидев яйцо, он радостно вскрикнул: «Пивз!

Опять воруешь!» В этот момент появился Снейп (Snape) и пожаловал­


ся, что когда он проходил мимо своего кабинета, он увидел, что свет
включен, а дверь шкафа приоткрыта. Кто-то обыскивал его кабинет, и
это не мог быть Пивз. Снейп хотел, чтобы Филч помог ему искать того,
кто проник в его кабинет (intruder), но Филч колебался. Он сказал, что
теперь, когда очевидно, что Пивз занимался воровством, он может до­
ложить о нем директору и попробовать добиться того, чтобы его вы ­
гнали из замка. Но Снейп и слушать не хотел.
10. День третьего задания приближался. Рон и Гермиони сдали семе­
стровые экзамены. На каждом экзамене Гарри сидел на заднем ряду,
выискивая новые заклинания (hexes) для этого задания.
11. Бэгмэн (Bagman) спросил Гарри, уверен ли он в успехе. Гарри от­
ветил, что все в порядке. Он постоянно прокручивал в голове заклина­
ния (hexes and spells), которые он учил, и от сознания, что он их все
помнит, ему становилось легче.

выглядит таким бледным и усталым. Он, должно быть, очень много ра­
ботал этот месяц.
6. В чем дело? Почему машины и автобусы движутся по левой сторо­
не? — Потому что в Англии левостороннее движение.
7. Я наблюдал, как он пытается завести машину. «Интересно, сколь­
ко времени ему понадобится, чтобы заставить мотор работать», — по­
думал я, когда он обратился ко мне и предложил мне подтолкнуть ма­
шину? Он сказал, что уже полчаса старается, а она никак не заводится.
Я подтолкнул машину, и мотор заработал.
8. Я только что видел, что твой сын гуляет в парке. Ты ему разреши­

9. М ы завтра едем за город. Автобус отправляется в 8 часов утра.
Нам велели взять с собой еду. Джон вызвался ее купить.
10. Как пройти в музей? — Идите прямо, второй поворот направо.
Когда повернете направо, увидите красивое белое здание на левой сто­
роне улицы. Это примерно в 5 минутах ходьбы отсюда.
11. Я ждал друга около 15 минут и уже начинал волноваться. «Если он
не придет через 5 минут, мы опоздаем на спектакль», — подумал я и в
этот момент увидел, что мой друг бежит ко мне через улицу.
12. Бесполезно пытаться заставить его делать то, чего он делать не
хочет. Если вы действительно хотите, чтобы он вам помог, вам придет­
ся убедить его, что это необходимо.

1. Я направлялся в Японию. На корабле я познакомился с мистером


Рэмзи и его женой. В каюте со мной был мистер Келада, которого я
вскоре невзлюбил. Этот мистер Келада знал все на свете и любил спо­
рить. Не удивительно, что я старался избегать его общества.
2. На миссис Рэмзи была нитка жемчуга. Мистер Келада посмотрел
на нее и сказал: «Замечательный жемчуг. Нитка, должно быть, обо­
шлась вам в целое состояние». — «Ну что вы, — возразил мистер Рэм­
зи, — это не натуральный жемчуг. Моя жена купила нитку за 18 долла­
ров». — «Ставлю 100 долларов, что жемчуг настоящий, — настаивал
мистер Келада. — Я бы не спорил, если бы не был уверен», — и он по­
просил миссис Рэмзи дать ему нитку. Миссис Рэмзи ничего не остава­
лось делать, как снять нитку и вручить ее мистеру Келаде.
3. «Я никогда не ошибаюсь, — говорил мистер Келада. — Вы можете
доверять мне». Он собирался сказать что-то еще, когда заметил выра­
жение лица миссис Рэмзи. В этот момент мистер Келада пожалел, что
начал спор.
4. Мистер Келада оказался в трудном положении. С одной стороны,
он знал, что жемчуг настоящий. С другой, он не мог сказать этого ми­
стеру Рэмзи, не выдавая миссис Рэмзи. Наконец, м-р Келада извинился
за свою ошибку и заплатил 100 долларов.
5. Когда я проснулся на следующее утро, я увидел, что мистер Келада
курит в постели. Казалось, он не спал ночью. В этот момент раздался
стук в дверь. Когда я пошел открыть, я заметил письмо на полу. Долж­
но быть, кто-то протолкнул его под дверь. Письмо было адресовано
мистеру Келаде. Внутри было 100 долларов. «Мистеру Рэмзи не следо­
вало оставлять жену одну в Нью-Йорке на целый год, — сказал мистер
Келада, когда я передал ему письмо. — Интересно, что бы случилось,
если бы я не сказал, что ошибся. Но мне и в голову не пришло, что
миссис Рэмзи могла получить жемчуг от кого-то другого, не от мужа».

1. Миссис Рэмзи была женой американца, который провел год в


Японии в качестве американского консула. Теперь, после короткого от­
дыха в Нью-Йорке, он возвращался в Японию. В этот раз жена была с
ним. Это была славная женщина с живым чувством юмора, ее невоз­
можно было не любить. Казалось, путешествие доставляет ей удоволь­
ствие.

2. На миссис Рэмзи была нитка жемчуга. М-р Келада взглянул на нее


и сказал: «Должно быть, этот жемчуг очень дорогой, он, должно быть,
стоит около 30 тысяч долларов». Миссис Рэмзи побледнела. «Вы удиви­
тесь, — сказал мистер Рэмзи, — но моя жена купила нитку в универма­
ге за 18 долларов как раз перед отъездом. М ы не можем позволить себе
натуральный жемчуг». — «Чепуха!» — М-р Келада начал раздражаться:
«Я говорю вам, что жемчуг натуральный, и я готов заключить пари на
100 долларов».
3. После того как миссис Рэмзи передала ему ожерелье, м-р Келада
тщательно его осмотрел и улыбнулся. Он открыл рот, чтобы объявить
свое заключение, когда заметил выражение лица миссис Рэмзи. Она
страшно побледнела и смотрела на него с ужасом. М-р Келада понял,
что все зависит от того, что он скажет. С усилием он заставил себя из­
виниться. Он сказал, что сделал ошибку, и передал мистеру Рэмзи 100
долларов. Руки его дрожали. Миссис Рэмзи ушла к себе в каюту. Все
были довольны, что проучили м-ра Келаду.
4. Когда я проснулся утром, я увидел, что м-р Келада курит. Должно
быть, он встал очень рано или вообще не ложился. Вдруг раздался стук,
и я услышал, как кто-то пытается что-то протолкнуть под дверь. Я встал
и увидел, что на полу лежит письмо. Оно было адресовано м-ру Келаде.
Я отдал письмо м-ру Келаде, и, когда он открыл его, из него выпала
стодолларовая купюра. «Если бы у меня была хорошенькая жена, —
сказал м-р Келада, — я бы не разрешил ей провести год в Нью-Йорке
одной». Теперь я восхищался м-ром Келадой. Он спас миссис Рэмзи от
позора.
5. Мельпоменус сидел у друзей уже три часа, когда он поднялся и
сказал, что должен идти. «Неужели?» — воскликнула хозяйка и предло­
жила ему остаться на обед. Он пообедал, а потом остался на чай. Хозяй­
ка ожидала, что он уйдет после чая. Но когда она увидела, что он садит­
ся в кресло, она предложила ему остаться у них на две недели. Глаза
Мельпоменуса наполнились слезами, когда он услышал это приглаше­
ние. «Почему они не позволяют мне уйти? Если бы они не были так
вежливы, я бы уже давно ушел».

1. Китти встретила Уолтера на танцах. Его имя было ей знакомо, по­


тому что ей о нем рассказывал общий знакомый. Когда их представля­
ли, Уолтер сказал, что он бактериолог. Это слово ничего не значило для
Китти, она только поняла, что это должно быть что-то вроде врача. Она
проявила бы к Уодтеру интерес, если бы он был человеком ее круга.
Повторение

Но врачи ее не интересовали, и сначала она не обратила на Уолтера


внимания.
2. Но Уолтер упорно ходил на всех танцы, на которые ходила она, и
вскоре она привыкла видеть его. Они обычно танцевали, хотя было
ясно, что он не получает удовольствия от танцев. Кити часто спраши­
вала себя, зачем он это делает. Ей бы хотелось, чтобы он был более ком­
панейским, тогда ей было бы легче в его обществе.
3. Уолтер оказался застенчивым и замкнутым, но он постоянно де­
лал над собой усилие и развлекал Китти вежливой беседой. Она узнала,
что он приехал в Англию месяц назад в отпуск и скоро вернется в Гон­
конг. Слушая, как Уолтер рассказывает о себе, Кити не могла побороть
ощущения, что он чего-то недоговаривает. Ей казалось странным, что
он ничего не говорит о своей семье и о своем прошлом.
4. Китти невольно чувствовала себя неловко в обществе Уолтера.
Она не знала, как себя вести. Беда Уолтера была в том, что он никогда
не расслаблялся, он не умел весело проводить время (enjoy oneself). Он
никогда не мог присоединиться к песне или танцу, и Китти никогда не
видела, чтобы он смеялся над шутками других. Китти часто хотелось,
чтобы он пошутил или хотя бы улыбнулся. Но он был слишком серье­
зен и слишком горд. Именно гордость делала его непопулярным. Китти
не могла сказать, что Уолтер ей не нравится, но она считала его скуч­
ным.
5. Дорис, младшая сестра Китти, встречалась с молодым человеком и
намеревалась выйти за него замуж. Она постоянно говорила Китти, что
не собирается ждать, пока Китти найдет себе мужа, она все равно вый­
дет замуж. Китти очень не нравилась мысль о том, что ее младшая се­
стра выйдет замуж первой.
6. На следующий день после того, как помолвка Дорис была объяв­
лена, Уолтер пригласил Китти прогуляться по парку. Он был необы­
чайно молчалив. Он пытался вести себя естественно, но у него не сов­
сем получалось. Китти заметила, что у него дрожат руки. Должно быть,
он очень волновался.
7. В одной из аллей была скамья, и Уолтер предложил немного поси­
деть. Казалось, он собирается что-то сказать, но не решается. Китти по­
нятия не имела, о чем он собирается говорить. Уолтер никогда не гово­
рил, что влюблен в нее, поэтому Китти не ожидала, что он сделает ей
предложение. Она ждала.
8. Уолтер сделал над собой усилие и начал говорить. Кити с удивле­
нием услышала, что он просит ее выйти за него замуж. Ему нужно было
возвращаться в Гонконг через несколько недель, и он хотел, чтобы Ки т­
ти поехала с ним.

9. Предложение Уолтера было полной неожиданностью. Растеряв­


шись, Китти не знала, что сказать. Меньше всего она ожидала это от
Уолтера. В то же время она была тронута. Предложение было таким
странным и неожиданным. Ей никто еще никогда так не делал предло­
жение.
10. Китти было нелегко решиться. С одной стороны, она не любила
Уолтера и не могла представить его своим мужем. С другой стороны,
если она откажется, Дорис выйдет замуж первой, а Китти совсем не
нравилась эта мысль. Кроме того, отец Китти сказал, что Уолтер не­
обыкновенно умный молодой человек. Это решило дело. Китти решила
принять предложение Уолтера. Вскоре она пожалела, что вышла за
него замуж.

СТРАДАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ЗАЛОГ
Страдательный залог употребляется:
1. Когда исполнитель действия неизвестен или неважен
2. Когда нужно специально привлечь внимание к исполнителю действия.
Предлог by вводит деятеля, with — инструмент:
A lot of trees have been uprooted by the hurricane.
The envelope was cut open with scissors.

Видовременные формы Passive образуются от соответствующих видов Passive Infinitive.


Вместо Perfect Continuous действительного залога употребляются формы Perfect страдательного залога.

В составны х сказуемых Passive Voice выражается с помощью Passive Infinitive или Gerund:
The work can be done in two days.
The heat was beginning to be felt.
The work seems to have been done in a hurry.
The letters continued being written.

Подлежащим страд ательного предложения с т а н о в и т с я дополнение предложения в действительном залоге.

Глаголы, не берущ ие дополнений (come, go, rise etc.), не образую т страдательного залога.

Глаголы, берущие одно дополнение, с предлогом или без предлога, образуют одну страдательную конструкцию:
Rastrelli built the Winter Palace in the 18th century.
— The Winter Palace was built by Rastrelli in the 18th century.
Everyone was looking for him everywhere.
— He was being looked for everywhere.

Глаголы, берущие два дополнения равного статуса (оба без предлога или оба с предлогом), могут образовывать две страда­
тельные конструкции.

Глаголы, берущие одно дополнение без предлога, второе — с предлогом, образуют одну страдательную конструкцию.

1. The first Wednesday in every month was a Perfectly Awful Day. Every floor
must bespotless, every chair dustless and every bed without a wrinkle. Ninety-
seven little orphans must be scrubbed and combed and reminded of their man­

It was a distressing time; and poor Jerusha Abbott had to bear the brunt of it.
But this particular Wednesday, like its predecessors, had finally dragged itself to
a close. Jerusha escaped from the pantry where she had been making sand­
wiches and turned upstairs to do her regular work. Her special care was room F.
Jerusha assembled her charges, straightened their frocks, wiped their noses
and sent them to the dining-room.
Then she dropped down on the window seat and leaned her forehead
against the cool glass. She had been on her feet since five that morning.
The day had ended — quite successfully, so far as she knew. The Trustees and
the visiting committee had made their rounds and had read their reports and
had drunk their tea. And now they were hurrying home.

2. In the early morning he awoke and looked out upon a small town just aris­

"Sir," said Willie.
The porter stopped.

"Valleyville. Is this your stop?"
"It looks green, "Willie gazed out at the cold morning town for a long time.
"It looks nice and quiet."
"Son," said the porter, "you know where you are going?"
"Here," said Willie.

3 .1 liked our guide. I asked him if he was a spaceman and he said no, he was
just a Colonial Service Ranger.
Dad and Mr. Latham joined us we were finishing the tour while Mr. Perrin —
that's our guide — announced the trip outside "to see the Devil's Graveyard and
the site of the Great Disaster of 1984."
Dad rubbed his hands together. "This is for me," he announced.
"You'll enjoy it," Mr. Latham agreed. "I'm tempted to come along myself."
"Why don't you?" Dad asked.
"No, I want to have the papers ready for you to sign when you get back and
before you leave for Luna City. Besides, I've been out on the surface dozens of
times. But I'll come along and help you into your spacesuits."

Mother said she did not think she would go; she was not sure she could
stand the thought of being shut up in a spacesuit.
Mother always objects and then gives in. I suppose women just don't have
any force of character.

Exercise2
1.1 went down pastTamu's cabin quietly so she wouldn't hear me and to my
own the door of which was slightly open.
I had left it closed. And locked. I always left it closed and locked.
I threw the door open. Tamu was standing over my open suitcase with my
passport in her hand.
What you do you say in a situation like that? I was angry and that helped.
"You have broken into my cabin and are stealing my passport."
"How cruel of you. "The door was open and I came in. I am stealing nothing."
"You have it in your hand!"
"I have been examining it. "It is a very interesting document."
"Now hand it back."
She hesitated a moment, looking at me closely before she spoke.
"I would very much like to examine it further."
I was still angry.
"Of course you can examine it. But the examination fee for the standard
American passport is a hundred dollars an hour."
"Very agreeable. And here is the hundred dollars."
And she had it too, in a little purse she had dug out of her clothes. They were
in my palm and she was out of the door before I realized what had happened.

2. Mrs. Morris opened a can and poured hot soup into a bowl. During all this
Mink fidgeted/was fidgeting.
"Hurry, Mom. This is a matter of life and death!"
"I was the same way at your age. Always life and death. I know."
Mink banged away at her soup.
"Slow down," said Mom.
"Can't," said Mink. "Dill's waiting for me. I got to run if we want to have the
Invasion."
"Who's invading what?"
"Martians invading Earth. Well, not exactly Martians.They are — from up." She
pointed with her spoon.
"And inside," Mom said touching Mink's feverish brow. Mink rebelled. "You
are laughing! You will/would kill Dill and everybody."
"I don't mean to," said Mom. "Dill's a Martian?"

"No. He's — well — maybe from Jupiter or Saturn or Venus. Anyway, he's had
a hard time."
"They couldn't figure a way to attack Earth. Dill says in order to make a good
fight you got to have a new way of surprising people. That way you win. And he
says also you got to have help from your enemy. And they couldn't figure a way
to surprise Earth or get help."
Mink sat there, staring at the table, seeing what she was talking about.
"Until one day," whispered Mink melodramatically, "they thought of chil­
dren."

1. They were walking slowly at about ten in the evening talking calmly.
"But why so early?" said Smith. "Your first night out in years and you go/are
going home at ten o'clock".
"Nerves, I suppose".
"What I wonder is how you managed it. I've been trying to get you out for
ten years for a quiet drink. What did you do, put sleeping powder in your wife's
coffee?"
"No. You'll see soon enough. Look up there!"
In the window above them a man about thirty-five years old, with a touch of
gray at either temple, sad gray eyes and a small thin moustache was looking
down at them. They waited. The street door of the apartment opened and the
gentleman with the moustache came out to meet them.
"Hallo, Braling," he said.
"Hallo, Braling," said Braling.
They were identical.
Smith stared. "Is this you twin brother?"
"No," said Braling quietly. "Put your ear to Braling Two's chest."
Smith hesitated and then leaned forward.
"Tick-tick-tick-tick."
Smith staggered back, appalled.
He reached out and touched the warm hands and the cheeks of the thing.
"Where did you get him?"
"Give the man your card, Braling Two."
Braling Two produced a white card:
"MARIONETTES, INC".
"Duplicate self or friends, new humanoid plastics 1990 models."
"How long has this been going on?"
"I have had him for a month. I keep him in the cellar in a toolbox. My wife
never goes downstairs, and I have the only key to that box. Tonight I said I
wished to take a walk to buy a cigar. I went down to the cellar and took Braling

Two out of his box and sent him back up to sit with my wife while I came out to
see you, Smith. So I've been home all evening."

2. Braling and Braling Two turned in at the door to the apartment.


"Well, it's the cellar box for you, В-Two." Braling guided the other creature
down the stairs.
"That's what I want to talk to you about," said Braling Two. "The cellar. I don't
like it."
"I'll try and fix something more comfortable. Besides it'll only be a few days
now. I'll be off to Rio and you won't have to stay in the box. You can live up­
stairs."
Braling Two gestured irritably.
"And when you come back from having a good time, I'll go back in the box."
Braling said, "They didn't tell me at the marionette shop that I would get a
difficult specimen."
"There's a lot they don't know about us," said Braling Two. "We are sensitive. I
hate the idea of your going off to Rio while we are stuck here in the cold."
"But I have wanted that trip all my life," said Braling quietly.
"And another thing. Your wife."
"What about her?" asked Braling beginning to edge toward the door.
"I've grown quite fond of her."
"I'm glad you are enjoying your employment." Braling licked his lips nervo­
usly.
"I'm afraid you don't understand. I think — I'm in love with your wife."
"You are in what?" Braling froze.
"And I've been thinking," said Braling Two, "how nice it is in Rio and how I'll
never get there, and I've been thinking about your wife — I think we could be
very happy."
"That's nice." Braling tried to rush out the door, but a metal-firm grip seized
his wrists.
Braling Two said, "I'm going to put you in the box, lock it and lose the key.
Then I'll buy another Rio ticket for your wife. Good-buy, Braling."
Ten minutes later Mrs Braling awoke. She put her hand to her cheek. Some­
one had just kissed it. She shivered and looked up.
"Why — you haven't done that in years," she murmured.
"We'll see what we can do about it," someone said.

A) A young writer was walking up and down the room. He was trying to find
a subject for a story. The story had been promised to the editor a long time
before. Time was running out and nothing had been done yet. The young writ­
er looked at the bookshelves. "So much has been written", he thought. "All
good subjects have been used many times. Take these stories, for instance. No
doubt, in their time they were being read, enjoyed, talked about. But now they
are quite forgotten. And what if..."
By the end of the day one of the forgotten stories had been retyped and
sent to the editor. His letter arrived the next day. "It's disgraceful", the editor
wrote. "Such behaviour can be neither understood nor forgiven. The story was
published in our magazine only a month ago".

with the dogs I was to train, and a group of the children who had watched the
first lesson. They had also brought their dogs. As it turned out, the children had
thought that in order to be able to train on the training-ground you only had to
have a dog. I was sorry for the children, but I had to tell them that only special
dogs were trained there and it had to be paid for. The children left. I began to
Сборник упражнений по грамматике современного английского языка

explain how the tasks were to be practised at home but I suddenly noticed that
nobody was listening to me. They were looking at something behind me.
I turned round. Nine children were standing, nine dogs were sitting and each
dog was holding a stick in its mouth.

1. It was a fine spring morning. Poirot and Hastings were sitting in Poirot's
room. Poirot was combing his moustache, Hastings was sitting in an armchair.
The newspaper that Hastings had been reading had dropped to the floor and
he was sleeping peacefully when Poirot called him.
2. When Poirot wondered what Hastings was thinking about he answered
that he was thinking over the incident at the ball in the Victory Hall. Everybody
was talking about it and the newspapers were publishing news about Lord
Cronshaw's murder every day.
3. Hastings reminded Poirot that Lord Cronshaw's party at the ball had con­
sisted of 6 people. They had been wearing costumes representing the old Ital­
ian comedy. The costumes had been copied from a set of china figures in Lord
Beltane'collection. Lord Cronshaw had been wearing the costume of Harlequin.
4. The party were to have supper in a special room. By the time of supper
Lord Cronshaw and his fiance Coco were not speaking to each other. Coco's
eyes were red, she had obviously been crying.
5. Lord Cronshaw was found dead in the supper room after the ball. The only
clue the police had was a green pompon found in the dead man's hand. Cron­
shaw must have torn it off the murderer's costume.
6. All the witnesses had said that they had seen Cronshaw a few minutes
before his body had been found. However, Poirot suspected that Cronshaw
must have been killed earlier. Poirot concluded that supper-room had to
have a recess where a body should have been concealed until the end of the
ball. \
7. The actor Davidson and his wife had been in Cronshaw's party disguised as
Pierrot and Pierrette. Poirot asked Mrs. Davidson to show him the costume she
had been wearing at the ball. The woman hesitated a little at first, but then
turned and left the room.
8. Poirot noticed at once that one of the pompons on Mrs. Davidson's cos­
tume was missing. The woman explained that it had got torn off at the ball and
she had given it to Cronshaw to keep. But the pompon had not been torn off,
it had been cut off very neatly with scissors.
9. On the day of the ball Cronshaw had learned that Coco was taking drugs.
He had been determined to find out who the drugs came from. Davidson, who
had been supplying Coco with drugs, was afraid of exposure and decided to
silence Cronshaw at any cost.

10. Poirot promised to tell Hastings everything when the time came. But the
time had not come yet. He said they must all see a performance in which the
characters of the old Italian comedy were to pose before a white screen.
11. Everybody who had seen the performance thought that they had seen six
figures. In fact there had been five of them. One of the characters had appeared
on the stage twice. The spectators' eyes had lied to them.
12. Poirot suspected at once that the murderer was the person disguised as
Pierrot. But Pierrot had left the ball two hours before the murder. It meant that
he must have either returned to the ball later or murdered Cronshaw before
he left.
13. Mrs. Davidson was the only person who had seen Cronshaw after supper.
But her statement might have been a lie. In that case the Harleguin that every­
body had seen at tPrevend of the ball could not have been Cronshaw.
14. Poirot understood that Davidson must/should have killed Cronshaw im­
mediately after supper. Then he took Coco home and quickly returned to the
ball, but already disguised as Harlequin, not Pierrot.

1. Harry was lying on his back breathing heavily as if he had been running.
He had just awoken. The old scar on hid forehead was burning as if a white hot
wire had been pressed to his skin.
2. Harry tried to remember what he had been dreaming about before he
had awoken. He remembered two men who had been speaking about some­
one they had killed.They had been plotting to kill someone else ... him.
3. Harry opened his eyes and looked about the room as if expecting to see
something extraordinary. There was an open book lying on the floor beside his
bed; he had been reading it before he fell asleep the previous night. The pic­
tures in the book were all moving.
4. Harry listened closely to the silence around him. He was half expecting to
hear the creak of a stair or the swish of a cloak. Therefore he started when he
heard his cousin Dudley give a tremendous snore from the next room.
5. Harry shook himself mentally. He was being stupid, there was no one in
the house with him except his uncle, aunt and cousin.
6. Harry lay thinking/was lying and thinking about the scar. He had been a
year old when Voldermort, the dark wizard who had been gaining power steadi­
ly for the last ten years, had arrived at his house and killed his parents. Then he
had turned his wand on Harry and performed a curse which had destroyed
many wizards. But the curse had not worked. Instead of killing the little boy, the
curse had rebounded on Voldermort. Harry had survived with a small scar on
his forehead and Vodermort had been almost destroyed.
7. Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking about goblins. They had been seen
on the school grounds. They had been looking for Crouch. Ron wondered if
Сборник упражнений по грамматике современного английского языка

they needed protection. Hermione smiled sarcastically. "Haven't you been lis­
tening to what Professor Binns has been telling us about goblins? They don't
need protection. They are quite capable of dealing with wizards."
8. Dumbledore sent Harry to his room asking him not to send an owl till
morning. Harry stared at him in surprise. How could Dumbledore know that he
had been thinking of sending an owl to Sirius to tell him what had happened.
9. Harry dropped the golden egg and the map. The egg burst open and be­
gan wailing loudly. At once Harry heard the voice of Filch, the caretaker, who
had been going around the building in search of Peeves, the local poltergeist.
Seeing the egg, he cried happily, "Peeves! You've been stealing again!" At that
moment Snape came along and complained that when he was passing his of­
fice, he had seen that the light was on and the cupboard door was ajar. Some­
body had been searching his office and it couldn't have been Peeves. Snape
wanted Filch to help him search for the intruder, but Filch hesitated. He said
that now that it was obvious that Peeves had been stealing, he could report
him to the principal and try to get him thrown out of the castle. But Snape
wouldn't listen.
10. The day of the third task was approaching. Ron and Hermione had taken
their end-of-term exams. Harry had been sitting at the back of each exam class
looking up fresh hexes for the task.
11. Bagman asked Harry if he was confident of success. Harry replied that he
was fine. He kept turning over in his mind all the hexes and spells he had been
practicing and the knowledge that he could remember them all made him feel
better.

board, THE desk, you. It means nothing, you see, whereas once THE word signi­
fied quite AN explicit thing — A desire to share all you want and are with some­
one else. It is time we coined A new word to mean that, and when you think up
A word you want to use, I suggest that you be economical with it. Treat it as

1 .1 was going to Japan. On board the ship I met/made the acquaintance of


Mr. Ramsey and his wife. I was sharing my cabin with Mr. Kellada whom I soon
disliked. That Mr. Kellada knew everything in the world and was fond of arguing.
No wonder I tried to avoid his company.
2. Mrs. Ramsey was wearing a string of pearls. Mr. Kellada looked at it and
said, "Wonderful pealrts^The string must have cost you a fortune". "Oh, no," ob­
jected Mr. Ramsey. "Those are not genuine pearls. My wife has bought the string
for 18 dollars."
"I bet you a hundred dollars that the pearls are genuine," Mr. Kellada insisted.
"I wouldn't be arguing if I weren't sure," and he asked Mrs. Ramsey to give him
the string. Mrs. Ramsey could do nothing, but take off the string and hand it to
Mr. Kellada.
3. "I am never wrong," Mr. Kellada was saying. "You may trust me/have confi­
dence in me." He was about to say something else when he noticed the expres­
sion of Mrs. Ramsey's face. At that moment Mr. Kellada wished he had not started
the argument.
4. Mr. Kellada was in a difficult situation. On one hand, he knew that the pearls
were genuine. On the other hand, he could not say so to Mr. Ramsey without
giving away Mrs. Ramsey. At last Mr. Kellada apologized for his mistake and paid
100 dollars.
5. When I woke up the next morning, I saw Mr. Kellada smoking in bed. He did
not seem to have slept at night. At that moment there was a knock at the door.
When I went to open it, I noticed a letter on the floor. Somebody must have
pushed it under the door. The letter was addressed to Mr. Kellada. There was a
hundred dollars inside. "Mr. Ramsey should not have left his wife alone in New
York for a whole year," Mr. Kellada said when I handed him the letter. "I wonder
what would have happened if I hadn't said that I was wrong. But it never oc­
curred to me that Mrs. Ramsey might have received the pearls from somebody
else, not her husband."

1. Mrs. Ramsey was the wife of an American who had spent a year in Japan as
an American Consul. Now, after a short holiday in New York he was returning to
Japan. That time his wife was accompanying him. She was a nice woman with a
Сборник упражнений по грамматике современного английского языка

lively sense of humour, one could not help liking her. She seemed to be enjoying
the voyage.
2. Mrs. Ramsey was wearing a string of pearls. Mr. Kellada took one look at it
and said: "The pearls must be very expensive, worth at least 30 thousand dollars."
Mrs. Ramsey turned pale. "You'll be surprised," said Mr. Ramsey, "but my wife
bought the string in a department store for 18 dollars just before our departure.
We can't afford genuine pearls." "Nonsense!" Mr. Kellada was getting excited. "I
tell you that the pearls are genuine and I'm prepared to bet you 100 dollars."
3. After Mrs. Ramsey had handed him the string, Mr. Kellada looked it over
carefully and smiled. He opened his mouth to announce his conclusion when he
noticed the expression of Mrs. Ramsey's face. She had turned quite pale and was
looking at him with horror. Mr. Kellada realized that everything depended on
what he would say. With an effort, he made himself apologize. He said he had
made a mistake and handed Mr. Ramsey 100 dollars. His hands were trembling.
Mrs. Ramsey went to her cabin. Everybody was pleased that Mr. Kelada had been
taught a lesson.
4. When I woke up in the morning I saw Mr. Kellada smoking. He must have
got up very early or been up all night. Suddenly there came a knock and I heard
somebody trying to push something under the door. I got up and saw a letter
lying on the floor. It was addressed to Mr. Kellada. I handed the letter to Mr. Kel­
lada and as he opened it, a hundred-dollar note fell out. "If I had a pretty wife,"
said Mr. Kellada, "I wouldn't have allowed her to spend a year in New York alone."
Now I admired Mr. Kellada. He had saved Mrs. Ramsey from disgrace.
5. Melpomenus had been sitting with his friends for 3 hours when he rose and

leave after tea. But when she saw him sitting down in an armchair, she suggested
he should stay with them for two weeks. Melpomenus's eyes filled with tears

polite I would have left long ago." v

1. Kitty met Walter at a dance. His name was familiar to her because a mutual
friend had been telling her about him. When they were being introduced, Walter
said he was a bacteriologist. The word did not mean anything to Kitty, she only
understood it must be some kind of a doctor. She would have taken interest in
Walter if he had been one of her circle. But she was not interested in doctors and
took no notice of Walter at first.
2. But Walter would go to every dance she went to and soon she got used to
seeing him. They would dance, though it was clear that he did not enjoy danc­
ing. Kitty often wondered why he was doing all that. She wished he would be
more sociable, then she would have felt more comfortable in his company.

3. Walter turned out to be shy and reserved, but he would make an effort to
entertain Kitty with polite conversation. She learned that he had arrived in Eng­
land on holiday a month before and was soon going back to Hong Kong. Listen­
ing to Walter speaking about himself, Kitty could not help feeling that he was
holding something back. She found it strange that he should never speak about
his family or his past.
4. Kitty could not help feeling uneasy in Walter's company. She did not know
how to behave. The trouble with Walter was that he never relaxed, he did not
know how to enjoy himself. He could never join in a song or a dance, and Kitty
had never seen him laugh at other people's jokes. Kitty often wished he would
tell a joke or smile at least. But he was too serious and too proud. It was his pride
that made him unpopular. Kitty could not say she disliked Walter, but she thought
him a bore.
5. Doris, Kitty's your „ sister, was going out with a young man and intended
to marry him. She kept telling Kitty that she was not going to wait until Kitty
found herself a husband, she was getting married no matter what. Kitty hated
the idea of having her younger sister getting married first.
6. The day after Doris's engagement had been announced, Walter invited Kitty
for a walk in the park. He was unusually silent. He was trying to behave naturally,
but not quite succeeding. Kitty noticed that his hands were trembling. He must
have been very nervous.
7. There was a bench in one of the alleys and Walter suggested sitting there
for a while. He seemed about to say something, but not quite daring. Kitty had
no idea what he was going to speak about. Walter had never said he was in love
with her, so Kitty did not expect him to propose. She waited.
8. Walter made an effort and began to speak. Kitty was surprised to hear him
ask her to marry him. He was to go back to Hong Kong in a few weeks and he
wanted Kitty to go with him.
9. Walter's proposal came as a total surprise. Taken aback, Kitty did not know
what to say. Walter was the last person she had expected it from. At the same
time she was moved. The proposal was so strange and unexpected. Nobody had
ever proposed to her in such a way.
10. It was not easy for Kitty to make up her mind. On one hand, she did not
love Walter and could not imagine him as her husband. On the other hand, if she
refused, Dorris would be married first, and Kitty did not like the idea at all. Be­
sides, Kitty's father had said that Walter was an unusually intelligent young man.
That settled the matter. Kitty decided to accept Walter's proposal. Soon she
wished she had not married him.
